how much worse does the obama administration's incompetence get? what will it take for the president to admit that his health care law has been a train wreck and that he'll have to delay it for at least a year? we know he's going to have to do it at least eventually. there is no way awful these problems will going to get fixed quickly and he's going to have to delay the individual mandate shall naindz says every american must buy, have, and prove they have health insurance and who's the enforcer? the i.r.s., the internal revenue service. the president should just go ahead and do it now and also delay all the other parts of the law, not just the mandate. it's time for president obama to really come clean with the american people about what his administration knew and then come to the table to work with republicans and give people the real health care reform that they need, that they want and that they deserve so people can get the care they want from a doctor they choose at lower cost. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. mr. hatch: mr. pres

so unless president obama, and here's the case, unless president obama is willing and able to help president rouhani would have a short honeymoon. and a chance for a breakthrough with the islamic republic will be lost. but the challenges president obama faces are no less serious. though they are more manageable. while many of the sanctions are written in laws and are controlled by the congress, they also give the president maximum leeway, the power to weight. but to use the power to weight or to waiver, the white house must certify that the full enforcement of the law will harm american national interest. the state department has used the waiver to allow a few countries -- eight countries i believe -- to continue buying iranian crude oil at a much reduced level. but will president obama used the waiver more boldly? i doubt that he will. obama has been a risk adverse president when it comes to public hated international matters. he also has many fights to settle with the congress. and will not want to add iran to his fighting basket. but president obama has also a state in seeing the iranian

now, president obama argues that the d.c. circuit court needs three more judges in order to get its work done. but the facts simply don't bear that out. that's not true. for example, between 2005 and 2013, the d.c. circuit's total number of written decisions per active judge actually went down by 27%, the number of appeals filed with the court fell by 18%. so instead of having more work to do, it has less work to do than it did in 2005. as one commentator has observed, the d.c. circuit already has the lowest caseload in the nation and if anything, trends show that their workload is decreasing. decreasing, going down, not up. indeed, one d.c. circuit court judge recently told the senior senator from iowa if any more judges were added now, there wouldn't be enough work to go around. well, you might be wondering then why the president and why senator reid want to pack the d.c. circuit court with three additional judges if there's not enough work to go around today. well, i would just note, mr. president, that the d.c. circuit co

again, in president obama's fifth year we will have confirmed 38 nominees after today's vote. in addition to the robust pace of activity on the floor, the committee has had an aggressive schedule of hearings and business meetings, taking action on many more nominees. in total, the senate will have confirmed 207 lower court article 3 judges. we have voted against three nominees. so 207 to 3 being defeated is a success rate for the president of 99% of his nominees. i think that's a pretty outstanding record not just for president obama, but for any president. so i reject the continuing rhetoric regarding how republicans are obstructing president obama's judicial nominees. again, i congratulate the nominees on their anticipated confirmations and will put my complete statement in the record outlining the professional qualifications of these nominees. i yield the floor. mr. leahy: madam president? the presiding officer: 0 the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: madam president, i won't go so much into numbers, but i did hear my friend say that, question whether president obama is trea
